LG G5 release date: Where can I get it?

Now, here's where LG threw a wrench into the typically formulaic smartphone announcement: The G5 features swappable modules.

Its subtle side is uncovered in Winning Streak, the G5 doing well to pick out texture and detail in the guitar strums and vocals - we love just how clear and spacious both tracks sound too, offering up separation to all parts of the track. And it rather ruins the design: the LG G5 comes in gold, silver, dark grey and pink - the Hi-Fi Plus is matte black. This feature only eats 0.8 percent of the handset's battery every hour.

Fingerprint Sensor, Battery, etc.: The fingerprint sensor has been moved to the back and also doubles up as the power button. Then, All the previous rumors about the LG G5 being a modular phone were true. There are also two cameras: a regular 16MP one and an 8MP, 135-degree wide angle for shooting big scenes. The wide angle lens is specifically beneficial when capturing tall buildings, landscapes and large groups.

Small changes have also been made to LG's custom Android interface.

We'd really like to try out the low-light capabilities of the X, as well as seeing how its 13MP front-facing camera handles dimly lit late-night outings, but that's something else that's going to have to wait until our final review. It will show you notifications as well as the time, saving you from having to constantly having to wake your phone just to know what time it is. The selling point here is that the accessories are easy to configure without having to mess with a lot of settings. Then there's the LG 360 VR headset that has its own display and connects to the G5 through the USB Type-C port and provides you virtual reality entertainment. Two other promised friends - a camera-equipped rolling ball that doubles as a home-monitoring device and a mortal enemy to your pets and a drone controller that promises to simplify piloting an aircraft - weren't available for hands-on demos. I liked the simplicity of the 360 Cam, and photos looked good even in a less-than-photogenic demo h all. Until you get to the accessories.

The processing power inside the LG G5 is great, although is confident enough of its greatness that it doesn't really want you to pay attention to it - there's more important things like Friends to talk about, right?
